The Computational Bolsheviks

(Reno, NV) Peoplenomics reports are always a joy to write – and unlike the UrbanSurvival columns, they have a serious-as-a-heart-attack angle to them because it’s where we get to nail down key aspects of the future and work out strategies for dealing with it. This morning we put down four “corner posts” that define our future.

This morning we offers two key insights: One is a further discussion of Peak Oil, which as I’ve hinted in previous columns, and what’s really going on when you lift the covers of Ukraine, Syria, ISIS, Africa, and many other “hot spots” around the world. If you remember our “thinking-framework” of the Manufacturer’s Resource Wars, there’s much to be relearned and applied to this moment.

Beyond that, we assess the new revolution by the programmers from the 99% who are in the process of overturning the One Percent in a gloriously subtle way…and a way that will lead us in future weeks to redefine some investment criteria for stock screens and other investment vehicles. Oh – and my buddy Rick Ackerman (of www.rickspicks.com ) lays out where gold could be going. (If you’re not a subscriber, it’s similar to Robin Landry’s worst case, which is none too reassuring. When smart guys with differing background begin to line up…)

So sit back, load the bean, and we’ll launch into “What It All Means...” written (somewhat appropriately) in our overnight suite upstairs from a Reno casino; where unlike markets or Washington pronouncements, we can at least see honest odds being posted.
